During the physical workshop, our coach Toon Verlinden (The Floor is Yours) teaches you all secrets of an impactful poster. How can you grab the attention of your audience from the first look and keep them hooked till the end? How can you make your key message stand out?
You will also start working on your own poster to translate your story into a clear and attractive poster. what to put on a poster (and mainly: what not to)? How do you come up with a title that immediately grabs people’s attention? What are the best images to use? How many words can you include on your poster?
